The Jnanabharati Nagar police have arrested a gang of three, including a goon who stabbed an autorickshaw driver to death, for staring at them in a bar on January 24.
Police picked up rowdy sheeter Sridhar (37) and his associates, Manjesh (23) and Venkatesh (21).
According to the police, Sridhar, who has several criminal cases pending against him, was consuming liquor at the bar where Raghu, the auto-rickshaw driver was also present.
When Raghu was paying the bill at the counter, Sridhar began to abuse him as Raghu was apparently staring at Sridhar.
Heated arguments ensued following which Sridhar and his associates overpowered Raghu, stabbed him and fled.
The police rushed to the spot, and based on the CCTV footage, arrested Sridhar.
The trio has been booked for murder and remanded to judicial custody.
